Phantom SMS

[Guest chocobogo]

Every time i boot into my SPV I get a new sms notification and the bottom right buttons displays "Message" but when I click on it it just takes me to my inbox and there is no message there.

I have tried the "import from sim" and it imports 8 old messages and i delete these but the spv still shows the SMS count to be 1, but when I go into the inbox it there is no new sms there!!!

arggh!!!

I have the UK update

Previous problem posted by me a few months ago.

Have a look at this previous post here on Modaco itself, it may help you resolve it.

Do a SEARCH!!

wow.. you're helpful aren't you!?

I have done a search and AFAIK there is no solution. The link posted by lycrawearer may or may not work, but has only been d/l'd twice, so i'm not sure. I will try it once i've decerted my phone.

My phone currently says there is 3 SMS under the MS Plugin... has seemed to go up since I received sim updates from orange to correct MMS problems when I first got the phone, but i'm not sure whether it's a coincidence.

If anyone has any intelligent comments/suggestions I would welcome them, but please don't say "Do a SEARCH!", as most of us have already done that.

Sp3ctre: tried an import from SIM? Probably won't work but its worth a shot...

The solution is there, but it's quick and dirty.

A call to 156 will give you this info.

You will loose all you messages in the inbox.

Browse to /IPSM/cemail.vol

rename this file to cemail.old

reboot and message counter is at 0, and no notification appears on bootup.

There is a thread about this. : Modaco post

Confirmed it works, but remember to copy or read all your messages.. they will all go!

i have had a similar problem, for some reason when I "import text message from sim" a new message comes up, I delete it but if I import again it still comes back.

how the hell, do I erase it permanently?
